Kagome hurried to her last class of the day and sat through it, impatiently. Kagome wanted to get out of this so she could go meet Inuyasha. Kagome thought she was in love. Could Inuyasha be THE one? She pondered to herself coloring on her folder. "Higurashi, what is the capitol of Montana?" Kagome jumped at being called on. All eyes in the class were focused on her. Kagome's cheeks turned bright red. Kagome cleared her throat. This scene was all too familar. And who gives a fuck what the capitol of Montana was!
FLASH BACK
Kagome stood on the stage, dressed in a cute skirt and a tank top with her friend Kikyo. They were the top two students in the school and now they were competing against each other in a battle of brains. Kagome and Kikyo were friends not by choice, but by mothers so they weren't at all close. You could say they were enimes. There was alot riding on Kagome because both girls were popular, but Kagome was NICE. Let's just say Kikyo WASN'T. Kikyo threatened Kagome about the match, demanding she purposely loose. Kagome refused and when Kikyo came over the next day, she read Kagome's private diary and Kikyo told the whole school about how dirty Kagome was. You see, Kagome was raped by a complete stranger but she never told anyone. So Kagome won the match, but her secrets were all in the air and Kagome receeded into her shell and got rid of anyone who could do the same thing Kikyo did. Kagome was stared at through the entire match and people pointed and whispered at her in the halls. Kagome stopped trying and became the quiet girl who was raped.

"I'm sorry Master Toyo. I wasn't paying attention." Kagome murrmured. The class resumed and after school Kagome left school. She couldn't bear all the stares and giggles about her. Still after three years, people still treated her like she was tainted. Kagome only hoped and prayed that Inuyasha hadn't found out about her yet. She didn't want him to think she was tainted and dirty until she got to know him at least a little bit.
Kagome saw Inuyasha waiting for her on the steps of the school, holding a helmet. Kagome walked up to him, wary. "Come on Kags. We haven't got all day ya know." Inuyasha said, teasing Kagome. Kagome smiled. So he didn't know. Kagome took the helmet but looked up at him. "What about you? Don't you need a helmet?" "Nah. I've never worn a helmet. I just keep one in a compartment in case any of my friends want to ride with me." Kagome slid the glossy black helmet over her own glossy black hair. Inuyasha helped her onto his bike and he started it up. "Hold on tight to my waist Kagome." he called over the engine roar. Kagome immeadately wrapped her arms around Inuyasha. A crimson blush across her cheeks though it was hidden by the helmet. Inuyasha gunned his motorcycle out of the school parking lot. Kagome loved the sensation, but clung to Inuyasha and rested her head against his back.
Kagome told Inuyasha directions to her house. He drove Kagome there and helped her off. Kagome's mother came out of their house. "Kagome Sakura Higurashi! What on earth do you think you're doing with that hooligan?" she yelled. Kagome took her helmet off. "Mother, please-" "No Kagome! You're grounded! Young man leave and don't bother my daughter again!" Kagome held her helmet out to Inuyasha calmly. "I'm sorry Inuyasha. Please forgive me." "Don't worry Kags. I'll catch ya around. Later old woman." he called to Kagome's mother as he got on his bike and sped away.
Kagome's mother slapped her across the face. "How dare you! Get in the house! No food for a week!"
